Morrison Construction has won a contract to build two temporary coach terminals for The 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.

The company, a subsidiary of FTSE 250 housebuilder and construction group Galliford Try, is also the preferred partner for any additional construction works.

Galliford Try has signed an official supplier agreement with Ryder Cup Europe to be the official construction services supplier to The 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.

Ken Gillespie, construction division chief executive of Morrison Construction, said: “We are proud to play our part in staging The 2014 Ryder Cup, which is about much more than a sporting spectacle for Scotland.

“It is already creating a real legacy through business opportunities for Scottish companies and their supply chains and improvements to local infrastructure.”

Edward Kitson, Ryder Cup Match Director, said: “We are delighted to welcome Morrison Construction and indeed its parent business Galliford Try into the family of suppliers for The 2014 Ryder Cup.

“The coach terminals being constructed by the firm are key to the successful delivery of thousands of spectators to and from Gleneagles and we are very pleased that, as well as being built to the highest specifications, there is also a high priority being placed on environmental issues while delivering the project.”

Morrision Construction also announced on Wednesday it had reached financial close on the new £34 million James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh.

The school project, due to complete in the summer of 2016, is the first revenue-financed project to be delivered through the Scottish Futures Trust-led hub South East Scotland Programme.

Morrision Construction is leading a consortium of private sector development partners in the hub South East Scotland Territory Partnership, which will deliver £300 million of community projects over a 10-year period.
